Lyrics
Lead Me To The Desert [verse 1] Lead me to me desert, with a blindfold make me walk Let the dust dry my throat, till I can’t even call Let the wind sweeep over, and cover all my tracks In case I give a second thought about ever going back [verse 2] Go get my Colt 45, with the ivory grip Cold nickel, plated barrel, I think there’s one shot left in it I always liked the feel, and the sound of a spinning chamber Cock it back, cross my heart, mean it if you aim her [Chorus] You lead to the desert, on a night so cold and black It’s hard enough to find my way, without my arms tied around my back With your memories scattered ‘round, what the hell am I to do I can’t even share the ground, while getting over you [verse 3] Find me a rope, to hold 200 pounds Fit it with a gallows knot, hang it 8 feet of the ground Hold it like you use to hold me. Wonder what I’m going to do? Don’t let go, I’ll show you, how to get over you. [chorus]
